Many Americans have been concerned to see the recent rise in gasoline prices here at home.
This short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.
This is yet more proof that Iran can never be trusted with nuclear weapons.
They will use them and they will use them quickly.
Remember because of our drill, baby, drill program, America has plenty of gas.
We have so much gas.
Under my leadership, we're number one producer of oil and gas on the planet
without even discussing the millions of barrels that we're getting from Venezuela.
We're in great shape for the future.
The United States imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won't be taking any in the future.
We don't need it.
We haven't needed it We haven't needed it
and we don't need it.
The countries of the world that do receive oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage.
They must cherish it.
They must grab it and cherish it.
They can do it easily.
We will be helpful, but they should take the lead in protecting the oil that they so desperately depend on.
Go to the Strait and just take it.
Protect it. Use it for yourselves.
Iran
has been essentially decimated.
The hard part is done, so it should be easy.
And in any event, when this conflict is over, the Strait will open up naturally.
It'll just open up naturally.
